Beha-Amprobe PM55A Digital Pocket Mulimeter, NCV, automatic function selection

Awesome. Does the job

Muy práctico y sobre todo muy completo, fácil de llevar en el bolsillo, además su estuche facilita que no se dañe, altamente recomendable

Und verdammt schnell.

I have been looking at this particular meter for a number of years, a very nice meter for a limited range of tasks, which is why I bought it.

Recomiendo este producto, para personas que no hacen un uso intenso, sino esporádico, pues lo puedes llevar en la mochila o en el bolsillo de la chaqueta.Lo que más me ha gustado: la función de Medición de Campo Eléctrico: pues permite acercarte a un cuadro eléctrico y saber si está alimentado, antes de tocar. Se hace mediante un pitido que aumenta cuanto más te acercas a los cables que están alimentados.Lo que menos: que las puntas de prueba NO sean desmontables....pues me temo que por ahí es por donde se romperá.... aunque espero sea dentro de muchos años.

Amprobe, cousin of FlukeThis is a really nice pocket meter. Keep in mind it is a low voltage/current general purpose tool. Both on my job and hobby wise, I often need to check the status of batteries and this is where it shines. Accuracy is 0.5% +-3 digits at 6V or less. So at low voltages its more accurate than my other cheapees. Above that, the accuracy declines but it can't easily be acertained because you just crossed the 6000 count i.e. after 6V you only get 2 decimal places i.e. less resolution. This is not necessarily a bad thing; are you critical of whether an AAA cell is 1.603V or 01.60V ?? LOLProsNice, compact and lightNice clear displayIt beeps in a second to indicate the reading is readyLoud beeps for continuityIn manual selection for continuity, it latches pretty wellIn fact if the modes are manually selected the autoranging is really fast eg. less than half a second on all voltages I've tried thus farA CR2032 replacement battery is quite commonPermanantly attached to the leads is this rubber holder to protect the lead tipsLeads are sharpCase is a nice touchNon-contact AC current magnitude works okFrequency/duty cycle readings are ok tooConsTest leads wires seem really thin.Test leads lack the stoppers which prevent slidingThere is a strange discoloration on the display after turning it off-this disappears in approximately one minuteClosing RemarksThis is a handy low voltage/current device. Input impedance is in the order of KILO ohms not Mega. Use accordingly.Coupled with the AutoTech for checking voltage/current/resistance/impedance/capcitance/continuity without changing the scale or pressing a single button, this one is staying in my shirt pocket most anywhere I go :-]UPDATE 2015-11-10I incorrectly gave the meter a bad review due to erroneous behavior when attempting to power it on. The meter didn't indicate a low battery right away. A CR2032 at 2.996V has to be changed. Something to watch out for and keep a spare in the pouch.I own an AM270 and this PM55A is still my favourite.
